Technical Small leak from enigne block?

[Snaever]

Hey
I was changing my Air filter on my 1.4L when i found a lot of oil on the Engine Block. I was first thinking it could be a head gasket leak, cause of the placement of the leak. But that would be too severe. You have any idea what this could be? And if so, is it serious? Car is running fine, Oil needs change but doesn’t look abnormal, and no white smoke coming out of the exhaust

That is a small leak from the valve cover gasket.
If are you bothered clean the oil you can see off the engine . Then monitor how quickly new oil appears.
The small leak will stop any parts it covers from rusting.
